PINPOINT TEST HC: FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM
Introduction

  WARNING: Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

  WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

  WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

  WARNING: When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

  WARNING: Clean all fuel residue from the engine compartment. If not removed, fuel residue may ignite when the engine is returned to operation. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

  WARNING: Fuel may remain pressurized in some fuel lines after the Fuel System Pressure Release procedure. Wear safety gloves and a face shield when disconnecting pressure lines to avoid skin and eye contact. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: Replacement fuel injectors may not be the same color as the original injectors in the vehicle. Verify the replacement injector is correct for the application by part number.

NOTE: With the engine running, the FRP PID value may be higher than a fuel pressure reading taken with a mechanical gauge.

PCM P0232:00 Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit High: No Sub Type Information Sets when the PCM detects voltage from the fuel pump monitor circuit while the fuel pump is commanded off. The fuel pump monitor circuit is wired to a pull-up voltage inside the PCM . The fuel pump monitor circuit goes high if, with the KOEO and the fuel pump commanded off, the fuel pump monitor/fuel pump power circuit loses its path to ground through the fuel pump. The fuel pump monitor circuit also goes high if the fuel pump monitor /fuel pump power circuit is short to voltage.
